Needing Some Serious Inspiration?

Have you ever read a book that just sets you on fire and not only inspires you beyond where you thought you could be inspired, but that changes the course of your life?  I cannot say enough about "Kisses from Katie" and I'm not even done reading it.  It is truly an incredible book.  Imagine at 16 getting an inkling to go to Africa, and then a few years later going there for 6 weeks with your mom, and then going back for a year, and then at 19 wanting to make it your home and going back for good?  Oh and by the way, adopting 14 daughters along the way and providing schooling to hundreds that otherwise would have no means to get it?  Meet Katie Davis.  This girl is legit and just released this book last year.  Her journey started in 2007 so it is still fresh for her and she is still in the thick of it.  This girl had the American dream going for her, but she felt a strong calling to Africa and landed in Uganda where poverty is extremely thick.  She simply couldn't turn away when she found children dying in straw huts because both parents had passed away from HIV, finding the children with no food, no clothes, no one to take care of them.  So she took them in and made them her own.  And then those daughters caught on and kept finding more girls in the exact same situation they were in, and begged Katie to adopt them too.  She couldn't say no.  Even though they had scabies and ringworm, both highly contacgious, she couldn't say no.  And remember - SHE IS 19!!!  This book gives you an inside,detailed, daily look of what it means to answer the call and go. I could go on and on but I don't want to spoil it for you.  I highly recommend this book. I think I may be getting closer to a dream my husband and I have always had but haven't felt led to act on yet - international adoption.  You can't read this book and not feel moved.  LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!
